IMHO, the new font is too plain. It looks pedestrian, like something a middle schooler would create in Microsoft Word. It's just too generic-looking.

I think the former font (below) looks much better. I really like the accent and the slight angular lean, which gives the font more flair, style and character. It's much more distinctive than the new font.

Hopefully, they keep the former font as the main one, and use this new font in special circumstances only. But I suppose it's all a matter of taste. Perhaps I will grow accustomed to the new font. Then again, maybe not.

TRAIL BLAZERS UNVEIL ALTERNATE RED UNIFORMS

Jerseys will debut opening night; fans encouraged to #WearRed

PORTLAND, Ore. – The Trail Blazers unveiled a new alternate red uniform at the team’s Media Day on Monday. The new look will debut in front of the home fans on Oct. 31 when the team tips-off the 2012-13 season against the Los Angeles Lakers.

This marks the first time the Trail Blazers uniform has seen a redesign since the 2002-03 season. The alternate uniform was modernized to show innovation towards the future while still reflecting the team’s rich heritage. They are anticipated to be worn at 8-10 games this the season.

The front of the jersey features a small pinwheel logo placed just below the neckline. A “Portland” word mark in a contemporary font with black lettering runs horizontally across the chest. The most recognizable feature of Trail Blazers’ the jersey, the stripes across the torso (also referred to as the "sash" or "blaze"), have been updated to represent speed and aggression.

The back of the shorts feature the “Rip City” logo as a nod to the team’s history. The stripes along the right side of the shorts have also been updated to coincide with the stripes on the jersey.

The uniforms are made of adidas’ Revolution 30 material - the lightest uniform ever made - and produced from 60% recycled fabric. A modern, sleek cut to the uniform silhouette was designed to enhance performance.

Through Oct. 3, the alternate red jerseys will be available to fans exclusively at trailblazersfanshop.com<http://trailblazersfanshop.com> (Oct. 1-3) and the Trail Blazers Fan Shop (Oct. 2-3). During that period, the Fan Shop will feature special pricing on the jersey and also offer a $5 red t-shirt to encourage fans to #WearRed opening night. Fans that purchase the jersey online during the initial sale will receive a coupon towards a future purchase.

Photos of rookies Damian Lillard, Meyers Leonard and Joel Freeland modeling the jersey can be found here<http://www.iamatrailblazersfan.com/...P/AlbumID/356449/GalleryID/71685/Default.aspx>. A document detailing the changes to the uniform is attached.

Totally dig it. Love the typography and the augmented sash to keep things modern. Classy.

Pro-tip for HCP: neither white man here is Kevin Love.

 

[JDC]

Liking the new look.

Meyers looks beastly in this photo. He's all upper body right now though. Needs to work on his lower body strength for sure.

If you squint your eyes Joel Freeland looks like him.

More pics here. I'm digging the look.

Somehow Rip City over the ass will get made fun of

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

are they only for sale for a short time or throughout the season? thinking of getting the Lillard one when they go up on the site.

 

[Wheels]

not a fan personally. Those stripes look cartoonish for me... not sure why. The stripes look like something from the era of the Vancouver Grizzlies, or Raptors in mid-late 90's.

 

[illmatic99]

bleh. Looks amateurish.

 

[julius]

they look better with players in them then they did without players in them.

Not sure I like them much though. The Sash has a 70's Atlanta Hawks/ABA vibe to it.

I would agree with you but the stripes don't connect. I like them. Not sure how much I like the font though.
And they would be better if the stripes connected. Other than that I think they're good enough.

That being said, I would like to see us move away from the diagonal stripes altogether. A completely fresh and new look.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

kinda hate them, but i guess its only a few games a year right?

Agree. Horrible design. I would be ok with the font and the stripes but the necks and the sides are awful. These just have no flow to them.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Given that they're showing them off on the rookies, why no Claver?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

bleh. Looks amateurish.

Worse: boring.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

yeah, why does the trim stop at the armpit...is that normal? looks unfinished

Spanish. Taking his siesta
